Lightning Tracker
Love this App
Has saved me countless times from being stuck in Storms with Hail whilst travelling and at work
2025-11-03
Awesome app!
Simple! Easy to use! Easy to read and understand..A must for anyone interested in the weather / lightning
2025-06-10
Sometimes it works
Sometimes it doesn’t. It’s only lightning, right?
2025-01-05
Lightning!!!
I’m a bit of a weather freak and I love to read about the days predictions.
I especially love my lightning tracker - Lightning Pro! Just love it!!!⚡️⚡️⚡️
2024-11-17
Mr
I like this App because it tells where the lightning is and I avoid going there and I can plan my day accordingly and I can go later or another day. Excellent App.

Photographer’s Best Friend
Accurate, easy to use without being cluttered. Rain overlay with lightning strike tracking is essential for photographic planning.
Would have given it 5 stars if it was fast to show the rain overlay but it is too slow. Can take more than 60sec for the rain overlay to load
2024-01-18
Lightning flashing all around. No notification. Useless.
😡
2024-01-17
Great
I find it extremely helpful. It allows me to see what’s coming, where’s it coming from and allows me to plan for my photos. Well worth the cost of a coffee.

Very disappointed paid for no ads but still keep getting them

Great App for tracking storms
Great app love overlaying the rain radar with lighting strikes. :) 👍🏼
Recently the rain radar is not loading most of the time for the Australia radar :( 👎🏼
2023-12-24
Awesome for Weather Geeks
My Lighting Tracker is a simple to use but very accurate app. If like me you enjoy a good thunderstorm with lightning this app adds the extra pleasure of being able see real time where the action is.
I’ve found it very interesting.
2023-12-21
Handy
I work at the airport on ramp, this is very handy as it tells us the distance of each strike which is good notification for us to ‘tools down’ when it’s too close.
2023-12-13
Charged me wrong
Got charged $32 for this app when it said it was $5.99
2023-11-05
App Playing up.
I’m not sure if the developers are aware, but this week 5/11/23 the app is seriously playing up displaying bolts that do not exist in the peripheral of thunderstormsIn Queensland Australia. Normally it’s incredibly reliable?
2023-09-13
Love this app
Truly love the app it’s so accurate. Thank you to the inventor 👍

Free version vs paid version
For some reason the paid version is not showing me lightning strikes while the free version is. So why did I pay for this?
2022-12-04
Great app, could do with a few more features
This is a handy app, the alerts are great. The only downfall I’ve found so far is the lightening only being visible for an hour or 2 quite limiting, having the option of visible for longer would save having to source that info from other websites. Most places I use show 0-12hrs, 12-24hrs, 24-48hours. This is helpful with things like fires and storm tracking, as well as seeing what happened overnight. Having the options for less like it is now won’t affect other users but keeping it available for longer will help those that need it.

Good lighting app
Great lighting app easy to use. Being able to set the radius is awesome
2022-11-22
My Lightning Tracker Pro
Best lightning tracker I have found. Use it at work during the storm season on a daily basis
2022-11-19
Safety First
I ride a motorcycle to and from work and I rely on this app most of all in the Summer months to help me ‘time’ my travels,
Simple and easy to setup and use
Love the audio alarms!
Great app!
2022-10-25
Lags
Purchased this app yesterday but it lags so much
2022-10-21
Glitchy
Rain radar no longer loads properly and is unreliable and notification’s no longer get pushed to my Apple Watch.
2022-09-13
Great
Works well, a little clumsy in the settings department for layout but it works well.
Would love to see a visually improved weather radar similar to rain parrot app.
2022-08-13
Jim
Great work, keep it up.
2022-06-04
Love it
Would be awesome if the radar images also looped. Is there any chance the looping radar and lightning strikes could be overlayed to show where the rain and where the lightning is? Usually this will show where the storm cell heads are and give some indication of where it will hit and when.
Thanks for a great app.
2022-05-25
Love this app
It would be even better if we got barometer readings too
2022-01-26
Great for dogs with sound phobia
This app allows you to set up a radius around your location notifying you when lighting is approaching! Great for if you have dogs with noise phobias, and need to medicate before an event!
2021-12-01
Complaint
Great app but at least forty percent of the time the precipitation radar will not show on my app , very annoying.
2021-11-12
My Lightning Tracker Pro
Very helpful

Great for Kayak Fishing
This app plays a very important role in protecting me from lightening strikes, when fishing from kayak in open water. It’s easy to forget about watching the sky (especially when the bite is hot) and thunderstorms can roll in unexpectedly. In a boat you simply motor for home, but kayaks are relatively slow and can get caught out with nowhere to hide.
Thanks for making this app, and if you kayak fish I recommend you get this one.

As accurate as Mississippi’s
Count Mississippi’s after seeing lightning for the same high level of accuracy. Handy for big picture planning of scheduling an outdoor work day, but this is as accurate as Minesweeper. I’m assuming the data comes from your Government weather service provider, so if they’ve not got the funding for proper equipment, they can’t provide more accurate data. Write to your representative and demand adequate funding for the Agency in charge of Weather. The right data can prevent tragedies with enough data for accurate modelling

lightning tracker pro app
great app but has a few little bugs to work out like during a thunderstorm the lightning does not show up right where it is meant to be even when the lightning is right on top of me it shows me that it's 100 kms away or it just doesn't show the strike position on the map at all
2021-03-09
Quality App
Accurate to a fault !
Does exactly what it says on the box!
Essential for my work in the field projects
2021-03-04
G8t app
G8t app I use it a lot cos of work (railway works) so it’s the go to for days when working on rail so no what’s going on 😎😎🤙🤙

Lightning pro
Brilliant
2020-11-21
Go Pro - it’s well worth it
Works great

CDA
It used to work well, but I have had 6 to 8 lightening strikes within the last five mins and none are showing up on the hotspot. The nearest is 55 km away.
2020-10-24
Feedback
I have had near strikes and they do not show up on the app.
Missing lots of lightning strikes
Around the NSW 2325 area.
Please improve on your accuracy of strikes.
2020-10-14
Don't buy the pro they intend to rip you off.
False advertising to make you pay for the free version
2020-02-17
Alerts
Lightning is going off left right and centre and am not getting alerts and have upgraded to Pro? What’s the use?
2019-11-13
Great app
Shows when storms are approaching and very accurate
2019-01-04
Best App Ever
Love this app. One of the ultimate favourites on my phone. Helped me get home during a severe thunderstorm. Waited till severe and frequent lightning was no longer all around me and till it was behind me to thus travel safely. Always lets me know well in advance of other info when lightning is nearby. Awesome app! You'll love it too.
2018-12-15
Lightning Pro
Damn fine App does exactly what you need , well done fella’s
2018-11-19
Does what it says on the tin
Blows all of the other "premium" apps out of the water... Reliable and punctual alerts.
2018-11-07
Didn’t show huge lightening storm at all
Useless
2018-09-05
Zappo
Great app only wish it could bring more storms.
2018-05-09
Excellent
Very useful if you need to know when lightning is approaching and where the strikes are hitting.
2018-03-27
App is rubbish
App crashes when ever I open it
2018-02-19
Little notification
I’ve purchased this for work. I get notifications up to 20 mins after a strike or more. Heaps to improve here
2018-01-12
Well worth buying!
Great app thanks!
